DHARAMSHALA: Have you been entertained? That, above all, is what should matter as the curtain draws on a rare five-game series between two important flag-bearers of modern Test cricket.
The question is relevant because lately, Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum's England have taken it upon themselves to inject zing into the game's oldest format. For over two years now, they have been self-appointed torch-bearers of the Test flame, seeking to keep the red-ball format enjoyable by thinking, and playing, out of the box.
